Young Plants Grünewald in the Dutch town of ’s - Gravenzande specialize in the rooting of herb , potted and bedding plants . Under 3.6 hectare of meth , over 1500 varieties of unseasoned industrial plant are propagated vegetatively . With a production range that size , it becomes a challenge to keep the starting stuff free of plague and mold . For this rationality , once every two weeks , Saskia Suanet , crop shelter specialist at Benfried , comes by to check the industrial plant .
Biological crop protectionNico Boers , proprietor of Grünewald , mentions how two years ago , they begin using biological craw protection . “ At that fourth dimension , Saskia insert us to the Atheta organisation , and this has been the floor for our biological crop protection ever since . ” Atheta Coriaria is a type of predatory beetle that , among others , combats thrip . The large flight image of the Atheta reserve for optimal spread . “ The Athetas form a good base for dirt biology , and we also utilise them preemptively . When call for , we also use Montdorensis and Cucumeris , ” enjoin Nico . The biological crop auspices and the guidance of Saskia production results . “ We have n’t had any serious insistency due to infections for the past distich of years . ”
safe rootingNico : “ The use of biologic crop trade protection only amount with advantage , in my opinion . First off , you’re able to always use biologic craw protection . When you spray this is different , you need to take all sorts of factors into account , such as personnel and rest on the crops . second , we can see that the rooting of our starting textile is skilful compare to a few years ago when we still used chemical products on a regular basis . in conclusion , it is also cost - efficient . Together with Saskia , we create an activity design . When you apply biological craw protection sagely , you will need less expensive chemical products . ”
Gnatrol against Sciara“In the fountain , we suddenly control an increase in Sciara action . On Benfried ’s advice , we then begin using Gnatrol SC , ” says Nico . Gnatrol SC is a biological mathematical product that combats the larva of Sciara and Scatella and fits in well with the desegregate system . Nico : “ We have used Gnatrol two to three weeks in a quarrel with a five - solar day musical interval . After the 2nd treatment , we already noted a impregnable simplification in the Sciara universe . ” Gnatrol also fits in with the crop protection insurance policy the growers from ’s - Gravenzande go by . “ We strive to only use biological product , and Gnatrol is a nice addition to this . It ’s secure for the biologic beneficials and also put to work very well , ” says Nico .
